I have a 2008 nissan sentra 4cyl 2.0. The car ran hot and blew the head gasket. After replacing the head gasket and timing chain I have a rattling noise at idle. Ive checked and double checked the timing to insure its correct yet the rattle is still there. Any ideas what that could be?

Rattling during idling could be from valve clearance, the timing chain or camshaft which could be from the valve timing solenoids operations.
Was cylinder head heavily sludged?
Are there any trouble codes?
